NAVAL LOSSES
AMENDED BRITISH LIST. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, March 9. The Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty, Lord Bruntisfield, said a mistake had been made in the answer he gave last Thursday regarding our losses of warships from the beginning of the war, Because of confusion with a previous question, the figures were only given to December 31, instead of to the encl of February. To the figures given on Thursday it was necessary to add the losses of four destroyers, four corvettes, four submarines, one minesweeper and six trawlers. The amended totals are thus five capital ships, seven aircraft-carriers, 25 cruisers, 14 armed merchant cruisers, 98 destroyers, 18 corvettes, 48 submarines, one monitor, eight sloops, .23 mine-sweepers, 162 trawlers, 14 drifters, one minelayer, three yachts, five gunboats and three cutters.
